Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hossien Taki raised to 65,000, from the cutoff. Dmitrii Nazarov called, in the small blind.

The 4♣6♠6♥ flop checked through to the K♠ on the turn. Nazarov checked again and Taki placed a bet of 150,000.

Nazarov spent nearly three minutes in the tank before choosing to make a frustrated fold. As Taki raked in the pot, he flashed A♣K♣ to the table, having turned top pair.

Jonathan Baylis: A♥2♦
Hossien Taki: A♣10♣
